Dave Smith Instruments Evolver Demo

[Jackaltoothmusic]

Gotta love the hack function

[JSprayaEntertainment]

what do the audio ins do ?

[drum4life42]

Wow, great sound!!

This has a 64 step sequencer?

[mikak3607]

is it good to use as a expansion synthesizer? i see everyone playing with samples, but i never see a keyboard.

[peetbass]

@mikak3607

it's not a sampler... it's a syntesizer: you can play it with a keyboard or with the internal sequencer

[mikak3607]

guss this is the poly one?

[peetbass]

@mikak3607

nope, it is the monofonic version (polyevolver is a simple rack)

[matiasmoriconi999]

superrr!!!!!! :D

[XYtoTheDoubleG]

MANNNN..... I need one!!!

[Daryoosh69]

hey man , i just have one question . what sorta amp do u use with ur evolver ? is that a bass amp or PA ? cheers

[ESSEKNOB]

@Daryoosh69

it goes directly in the mixer.

No amp, it is a synth!

[peetbass]

@Daryoosh69

no amps: the synth goes directly to the camera line inputs

[bellurypants]

I know that it has 16 steps per sequence and 4 sequences, do you know if they can be "daisy-chained" for a total of 64 steps?

[ESSEKNOB]

@bellurypants

no, you can't use them in series but only in parallel mode :(

[miamiwax]

can somebody explain how you make sounds on a synth with no keyboard?? please help!!

[ESSEKNOB]

@miamiwax

you have just to connect the synth via midi to a master keyoboard... or you can use the internal sequencer

[miamiwax]

@ESSEKNOB can u elaborate on the internal sequencer?? i'm really dumbfounded.. how can u produce different notes??

[ESSEKNOB]

@miamiwax

yes, you can change the notes of the step sequencer by rotating the knobs

[gridsleep]

@miamiwax  Why don't you go to davesmithinstruments(dot)com and download the Evolver manual? There isn't enough room or incentive here for anyone to provide a tutorial.

[peetbass]

@miamiwax

yes you can change every note in the sequencer with the knobs

[TherapyHiccup]

yep, i will be getting one of those =]

[009relic1]

dave smith invented midi idiot...lol

[astroboomboy]

@009relic1 He sure did, and without it my music would sound crap!

[TravesTV]

@009relic1 well he was one of the founding members, but there were a lot of others involved, it was an international effort

[ninefootnails]

can it be played alone or it must be plugged on a synth?

[astroboomboy]

@ninefootnails you can play on it by itself when using the sequencer as in the video. If you own one, check out the manual on how to make a sequenced sound. The manual is online if you don't have it, and there is also a really in depth and great guide written by a fan which you can find by searching google.

[Bluesage2009]

who the fuck is dave smith ?

[Dave4020]

@Bluesage2009 He is a electronic engineer out of Berkeley that invented the Prophet 5 synthesizer in the 70's some of the best sounding synths in my opinion. He is also the developer of the MIDI standard that you see in most keyboards today

[samuraipizzacat29]

Thanks so much for your demo - I watched this before I bought one, and holy crap this is one of the best buys I've made. I love this box.

[culturaleyes]

the tone on this is excellent! it sounds almost just like a Moog

[gombie]

@culturaleyes

They're both analog, except this also has digital oscilators..

Moog and DSI are the ''mercedes-benz of synthesizers''.... Even though MB's aren't that great nowadays.

[hofnaar]

amazing vid! I will se more and many more of your vids please :)
